Leafield Church of England Primary School
About Leafield Church of England Primary School
Leafield Church of England Primary School sits in the top 25% of primary schools nationally for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and its local ranking is strong too: 7th out of 44 schools in West Oxfordshire. That headline figure of 80% of pupils hitting the expected combined benchmark is well above the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, a gap that marks this small village school out as a notably high-performing option in the area. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and its overall effectiveness rating remains Good. That’s a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014, when it was judged Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, as well as the quality of education, are now both rated Good, and the school’s Church of England character adds a distinctive layer to its identity.
